Ed Harcourt, born on August 14, 1977, is a British singer-songwriter from Lewes, East Sussex who has so far released four critically acclaimed albums and has a relatively small but very enthusiastic fanbase. His first instrument is the piano, but he also uses several less common keyboard instruments as well as the guitar. Live he is accompanied by a band typically comprising a drummer, guitarist, violinist and trumpeter. His work is sometimes reminiscent of Tom Waits but still entirely his own, varied and passionate style. Besides being a headliner himself, he has also played support for a lot of artists over the years, like REM, Wilco and Neil Finn.

Ghost Writer Lyrics

Ed Harcourt

Hey - what`s that sound in the bathroom
Hey - they`re the voices in my head
Hey - put your money where your head lays
Hey - never sleep in your bed
Hey - organise random chaos
Hey - sinking deep in the sand
Hey - link your arm to span another
Hey - then you clap your clammy hands
Creepy crawlies makes the best of life they can
But I'm not overwhelmed, understand?
Days are dropping like a ripe tomato
And baby, I've grown into a different man
Ghost Writer in the heart of the duplicated system everywhere I look
Ghost Writer makes a start in the duplicated system with a brand new hook
Hey Hey - living up a hollow treehole
Hey - making secret documents
Hey Hey - taking pictures of he suburbs
Hey Hey - you wonder where the money went
I've seen it, heard it all before
I've seen it, heard it all before
Creepy crawlies makes the best of life they can
But I'm not overwhelmed, understand?
Days are dropping like a ripe tomato
And baby, I've grown into a different man
Ghost writer in the heart of the duplicated system everywhere I look
Ghost writer makes a start in the duplicated system with a brand new book
Ghost writer in the heart of the duplicated system everywhere I look
Ghost writer makes a start in the duplicated system with a brand new hook...
